Some homes are all about form over function: comfortable dwellings that meet the basic need of shelter, but do little to inspire the soul. And many luxury homes add additional creature comforts and living space, but still don’t have what it takes to quicken the pulse, and carry the imagination aloft.

Only a select few residences can truly be considered works of art: breathtaking embodiments of life’s wonderful possibilities. 5131 Rancho Del Mar Trail is just such a place, and for a limited time, you have the chance to make it your own for $16.9 million.
